Our recent paper by visiting student Thiago Cardoso on the colorimetric detection of falsified whiskey has won a Brazilian science award.
The work in collaboration with Wendell Coltro (Universidade Federal de Goiás) won 5th place in the “exact sciences and the earth” category, from the SBPC (Brazilian Society for Science Progress) Goiás regional awards. These honors are awarded to the best studies which help the community, and to demonstrate that science can help common people in their day-to-day lives.
